SOUTH OF THE BORDER in the country of MEXICO children celebrate a special holiday called EL DIA DE LOS MUERTOS (the Day of the Dead). They create art projects and crafts with skeleton motifs just for fun. Often decorated candy skulls are a part of the festivities. Families go the the cemetary to visit the deceased and pray, sing, share food, and tell funny stories about their departed loved ones. Nations around the EARTH deal with the concept of death in diverse ways which may seem strange to us but, often make sense within a foreign cultural setting.
